    The article says it will be on the Mac App Store; I checked Steam and it is just on PC (and with high regional pricing). A step in the right direction but not good enough.

      I’ve heard that sometimes Steam won’t list the Mac version, but if you buy the PC version you can still download the Mac version. Unsure of how true that is, though.

            Hey there I don’t believe there is a compiled list anywhere and I’m not familiar enough with querying steams database to know if there is a way to easily filter that data. The games I remember off the top of my head were deus ex human revolution and max payne 3. There are also a lot of inconsistencies in the pre/post Catalina 32 bit compatibility, I’ve found games that the steam page claims are not compatible but can be downloaded and played like hotline Miami.

            Really wish steam had better options for viewing macOS options, the sub page from the store menu doesn’t really help much.

              Yeah this one I found out because one of the games I played had that issue. It’s annoying that Steam’s store page isn’t reliable enough for Mac users.

        If you buy the game on the app store you can only play it on Macs. It’s an issue if you own both a MacBook and a gaming PC/Steam Deck.

        On Steam you get all the supported platforms + (most likely) save syncing.

        I have a Deck, and don’t want to be limited to Mac if I get a gaming computer in future also.
